Check local availability
Tell us about your tile project. We review each request by hand and, if an independent local installer is available, we put you in touch. Submitting does not guarantee availability.
We do not do the work. Independent local tile installers do, and you contract directly with the one you choose.
Kearns has the most uniform housing in the valley, most of it single story and laid out on the grid that grew from the old army air base, so the bathrooms repeat: a short alcove, one window wall, joists running one way across a modest span. That consistency helps, because the demolition holds few surprises. The tight footprint is the real constraint. A bench or a curbless entry has to be planned around a door swing and a vanity that are already fixed, and every inch given to one takes an inch from the other.
What this covers
- Full walk-in shower, walls and pan
- Shower walls over an existing pan or base
- Mosaic shower pans in hex, penny, or pebble
- Niches, benches, and corner shelves
- Waterproofing membrane and backer board
- Curbless and low-curb entries
What affects the scope
Every tile job is different, and the independent installer who does the work sets their own price. These are the things they will usually need to know before they can estimate:
- The size of the shower and how much of it is tile rather than glass
- Whether the old shower has to come out first, and what is found behind it
- The tile itself: large format, mosaic, and natural stone are not the same job
- Whether the pan is built on site or set as a preformed base
- Niches, benches, and curbless entries, each of which changes the waterproofing detail
- Whether a plumber has to move a drain or valve before tile work can start
Worth asking any installer directly: are you licensed and insured for this work, what waterproofing system do you use, what is your estimate and what does it include, when could you start, and what happens if something is not right afterwards?

Scope and licensing: Moving a drain, a valve, or a supply line is licensed plumbing work in Utah and is not part of a tile installer's scope. If your shower needs it, that is a separate licensed trade, and it usually has to happen before the tile work begins. Related reading: Does a tile installer need a license in Utah?

Questions
Frequently asked
How much does a tile shower cost in Kearns?
In a Kearns bathroom the size of the alcove is fixed, so scope comes down to what gets added inside it: a bench, a niche, a curbless entry, and the tile format that gets set. Whether the old pan was mortar and whether the subfloor under it is sound also matter. Taylorsville Tile Co. does not set prices. If an independent local installer is available for your job, that installer gives you their own estimate and you agree it directly with them before any work starts.
Can a tile shower fit in a compact Kearns bathroom?
Most of the time yes, but the extras are what get squeezed. A bench eats into a short alcove fast, and a niche has to land between studs that are already carrying plumbing. A curbless entry means dropping or building up the floor, which is a framing question before it is a tile question. The installer checks the door swing first, because a shower door that hits the vanity is the common failure in these floor plans.
